Basically. I haven’t and won’t take the time to look into this agency but I bet it’s just a toothless bureaucracy that has no enforcement authority. Police departments are above the law. Nothing will come of this.

101st hasn’t been an actual airborne division since the early stages of Vietnam. It’s an air assault division. 82nd is the Army’s main airborne division.

The essential function of policing in America is to protect the property, rights, and privileges of the ruling class. They maintain the social order and status quo. They don’t work for us! In fact, the Supreme Court has ruled on multiple occasions that police are under no obligation to protect civilians. No amount of…

Why would they even accept his call? 

I don’t hate or oppose BO. However, I do not look at him and his administration uncritically like most liberals and Black folks do. Politics for me is about policy, not emotions. BO is a third-way, corporate politician. He’s not a radical or a reformer. He makes great speeches and ran on a campaign of nebulous…

You’re wasting your time, bruh. You will never, ever, ever get members of the Black liberal/professional class to actually take a critical look at the Obama presidency. Politics for them is about emotions, not issues and policy, and the absolutely adore BHO. Save your keystrokes.

There was a guy running for president who built his platform around addressing this very issue. You know, healthcare as a basic right for all not a commodity. I wonder what became of him and his campaign.

By not advocating for universal, free healthcare coverage - healthcare as a human right - you are doing a disservice not only to Black women, but all Americans. Access to healthcare doesn’t guarantee one’s right to obtain it. I have access to a Ferrari dealership but I’ll never own a Ferrari. And the term affordable…

We’re in an election year. This is nothing more than PR. If the ruling class actually cared about any of us we would have universal healthcare. This is obviously partisan politics.

Yup. The Maw needs a constant supply of fresh meat.

Exactly!

There’s nothing at all alternative about the Root. It is a thoroughly mainstream/corporate publication. It just caters to a specific audience, the Black professional/liberal class.

Let’s keep it funky. Jay sold out waaaayyy before the NFL deal. I mean, you don’t become a billionaire by sticking by your morals and principles. Unless, of course, those principles are capitalist.

At this point her endorsement means nothing to Bernie because she’s already served her purpose. Se might as well endorse Biden now because she already did the DNC’s dirty work. Fuck Elizabeth Warren! She chose her side.

He’s a child. I won’t wish any ill will on a child no matter who his parents are.

I’m sorry, but did you not read the part about the crime lab technician intentionally sabotaging results and stealing drugs? She was later convicted. Harris tried to hide it. If that’s not misconduct then what is? Is that not proof enough for you?

If Trump and his absolutely wretched family (minus Barron) and his ghoulish administration and cronies were to contract coronavirus, and if, at the same time, Jair Bolsonaro, his equally wretched family and ghoulish members of his administration became infected with the virus as well, then I will have to rethink this…

You’re so busy trying to win an argument that you’re not seeing the big picture. Let’s set aside the question on Mosby because she is not the focus here. I just used her as an example. I don’t want to talk about what the AG has power to do because that’s only a minor pillar to the argument I was making. Let’s focus on…

See, now you’re just picking gnat shit out of pepper. I live in Baltimore. I know what the laws are. Despite being decriminalized, Black people were still disproportionately cited for marijuana possession. Mosby used her discretion as AG to stop doing that. The same way Kamala Harris used her discretion as AG to not…

No discretion, huh?
